Dozens of people were killed in a pre-dawn stampede at the festival in northern India on Wednesday, police sources and a Reuters witness said, as tens of millions gathered to take a dip in sacred river waters on the most auspicious day of a six-week Hindu festival.
 
Bodies were still being brought to a local hospital morgue more than 12 hours after the tragedy at the world's biggest gathering of humanity, although authorities were yet to officially announce the casualty numbers. 🔗 Read more at our link in bio. 📷 AdnanAbidi #India #reuters #reutersphotos #stampede #KumbhMela
